Seriously worrying about how your body makes weight is picking fly scat out of pepper. Bodies need approval and they need to be a certain weight. Who the heck really cares how your body makes weight I sure dont. Making more rules is just another way to steer people away from usgt. It's bad enough that at the vta national race tour this past weekend their was only 10 usgt cars that showed up. Make things easier not stupid.

There should be a different minimum weight for the bodies that come with any pre attached foam to make it fair for other foamless body manufacturers, since the foam's weight and low position effectively lowers the total CG of the body compared to another body of the same weight that does not have any foam installed...There should also be another rule to stop the addition of body accessories in order to make minimum weight: hopefully there won't be any polycarbonate lead based paint used to make minimum weight.....

Hopefully the Usgt rule makers will go back to the old 'no body minimum weight' rule that made the class popular in the first place. Too many rules does stop participation, but I still say that foam is not polycarbonate plastic, whether it is meant for protection of the body or not.....Cheers.....

foam, mirrors, driver figures, six coats of paint...who cares... as long as the body is legal(or soon to be), painted up like a GT style race cars, has a painted wing and weighs 95 grams....run it
